## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Reveal the word [TEXT] with a trim-path draw-on. Use a heavy high-contrast italic serif, huge and centered on deep navy with a faint dot grid. First, thin butter-yellow outlines trace every contour of each letter from start to end with a smooth ease and a short stagger per letter; a mint outline offset a little up-left follows a beat later, then a cream outline at the front, so three stacked contours form a diagonal echo. Next a coral liquid fill floods up inside the front letters behind a gently waving surface. On the hold, a short bright comet of light keeps racing around every outline. To loop, the strokes retract in the same direction they were drawn and the fill drains away.
```

- Three stacked outlines offset diagonally: butter, mint, cream
- Wavy liquid fill rises inside the front letters
- A short bright comet keeps running around the outlines on the hold
- High-contrast italic serif on deep navy with a faint dot grid
